Since the last update there has been some improvement in the greens and are slowly coming along but due to cold, drying winds and very little rainfall they are still struggling a little. We are not alone with this as we have spoken to several members from other clubs and our sales reps who travel the length of the country and are constantly in contact with other courses and everybody is in the same boat. We Keep getting told that links courses are excellent at the moment and the greens are superb, this is due to the different species of grass they have, no trees to shade the course and the lack of snow/frost they get through the winter.
Speaking to our reps about other courses and what fertilisers have had the best results as a start up feed and they have all said the same, nowhere has had much success with their first feed and that the growth actually went back with the cold, drying winds.
We are still confident that this will be a good year and hope you can understand that we are doing everything we can to get things moving but the one thing we are not in control of is the weather.
